Thanks for including Mark Twain. I read Roughing It to my nine-year-old last year. People associate him with the Mississippi, of course, but he saw a lot of country. For his none-too-serious account of his own expedition in the Alps, read A Tramp Abroad.

Thanks Joseph, I appreciate your nice remarks and the vote. Yeah, I do take pics of registers and benchmarks. The nice thing about digital cameras is that the 'film' is cheap. Nice effort on Superior the other day. You guys are really on a great roll.

Dean, you have done some really nice work on this web site. All of your pages are excellent! I am going to spend some time checking out all of your pages tonight. I have a new interest in them since I'm liking the idea of COHP more and more. Finally submitted a completed map the other nite. Thank you for introducing me to this site and COHP.

Thanks Scotty for the vote. It is a pipsqueak of a peak but the history of the town at its foot just makes it a neat place to visit and spend some time. The view from the top isn't too bad a deal either.
